The end of DRM 9000

Feb 3, 2006

GREG: This digital rights stuff is ridiculous! Thank God for people like the Electronic Frontier-- DRM 9000: No! No, don't--
GREG: A HA! Just mentioning the E.F.F. hurts you, doesn't it?! "Electronic Frontier Foundation"! "Creative Commons License"! "Label-less Distribution"!!
GREG: Ha ha! Hey!! You're home! I was being held hostage by a Sony robot! But I saved myself! Using the power of words! And freely distributed information!
BRETT: That's great, man... you want a beer? GREG: Yes! Yes, distribute the beer freely, Brett!

Clone Project is a Success

Nov 17, 2005

DR. MERRILL: Now, sadly, none of the cloned bands have actually become good musicians. JOEL: So, the project is a failure.
DR. MERRILL: Oh no! It's actually a success. We're friends with the band clones! We've proven that Ph.D.'s and rock stars aren't genetically predisposed to dislike one another.
JOEL: That was your hypothesis? DR. CARY: Yes, we've submitted out findings to several bands along with invitations to hang out. No one's replied.
DR. MERRILL: Well, Mark McGrath said he'd get a beer with us. DR. CARY: Yeah. We never sent him anything though. JOEL: Look, I, uh... I better go.

yourfriendfred.com

Nov 3, 2005

GREG: I found a new download site: YourFriendFred.com ... This guy Fred sends you whatever mp3s you want. B-but it's legal! See if you run into Fred ever, you buy him a beer.
GREG: A-and Fred promises that a PORTION of that beer goes directly to the artist. S-so everyone wins, see? H-ha ha! R-right, Brett?
BRETT: Yeah, idiot, if the artist WANTS to be paid in beer, and if "Fred" HAPPENS to run into them in the next 20 minutes. GREG: It's POSSIBLE.
BRETT: Oh SURE! "Why, look who's here at Dempsey's! Kanye West! And the rotting corpse of Johnny Cash!" GREG: I mean, I ALWAYS see that Fiery Furnaces dude at the bodega....

Outdoor concerts

Aug 16, 2005

BRETT: Why again do I go to summer outdoor concerts? The bugs? The overpriced, warm beer? The obnoxious, sweaty, all ages crowd?
BRETT: The bands look like ants from here, and the songs sound either poorly rehearsed or banal and mechanical. This is lame, Greg. This is totebags lame.
GREG: Well, but when you have kids, you get to tell them you saw this band live.
BRETT: Screw my kids, man. I'm getting a slurpee. GREG: Yeah... mmph. This opening band has me considering a vasectomy.
